In an expansion of its dimensional inspection equipment portfolio, co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, Castle Donington, UK has launched a new range of laser scanners and complementary technologies that use high-speed, industry-standard Ethernet communication.

Visitors to the Meusburger stand at Fakuma 2026 can explore the company's latest standard components, engineering software and cleanroom solutions before taking a behind-the-scenes tour of its manufacturing site in Wolfurt.

GPU-based simulation allows users to review large machining jobs more quickly. Solidcam 2026 integrates Machine Works GPU to generate in-process stock models in seconds, helping programmers check selected stages before running a full simulation.

LK Metrology has introduced a new range of Ethernet-ready laser scanners for co-ordinate measuring machines. The sensors are designed to accelerate automated dimensional inspection and 3D surface digitisation.

Time pressure and complex requirements are part of everyday life for designers in the mould and die making industry. To address these challenges, Meusburger is launching its new campaign, ‘Designs at the click of a button’.

CNC machining enables Speedpart to manufacture complex components from production-grade metals and engineering plastics with high dimensional accuracy. The process complements additive manufacturing where tight tolerances, fits and functional surfaces are required.

With its new medial ball algorithm, Polygonica aims to speed up CNC quoting and manufacturability checks by making curvature and tool accessibility analysis faster for intricate part geometries.

With Gürsel Demircali joining as Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Module Works is reinforcing its partner strategy and growth ambitions in digital manufacturing.

Four new plugins just turned NX CAM into a serious machining powerhouse. Siemens and Module Works are packing physics-based roughing, turning and feed-rate optimisation straight into the native CAM workflow.

Automated machining takes a step forward with Module Works’ latest software release, which adds geometry-based toolpath optimisation, physics-based feed control and GPU-accelerated simulation. The update also expands shopfloor programming and standardised data exchange to improve efficiency and connectivity across manufacturing workflows.
